97 percent of diabetes patients in Bangladesh are type-2. This type of diabetes is preventable. This disease can be delayed a lot by taking steps. There is no need for any big arrangement for this. Here are some simple tips to control blood sugar. If you follow them regularly, you can keep sugar under control.
1. Every meal should be eaten on time.
2. How much is being eaten is also important. Prepared food can be eaten in small quantities without eating too much. The doctor said to eat bread instead of rice. Now eating six heavy loaves of bread didn't work anymore. Rather the opposite will happen.
3. The tendency to eat whole grains with fiber should be increased. It is better to eat red flour bread or brown rice instead of flour bread and milled rice. Round potatoes should be eaten as little as possible. Potatoes should be eaten as a substitute for rice or bread etc., not as a substitute for vegetables or greens.
4. Avoid excess salt and fatty foods. Eat some vegetables and fruits every day.
5. Avoid fast food, soft drinks. Drink enough pure arsenic free water every day.
6. Unwholesome food served during various rituals is forbidden.
7. Keep the body active regularly. Walking can be a good example.
8. Do not sit for long periods of time. Stand up between computer use and work. Take a walk and cut back on the game. Don't eat chips while watching TV. If you are very hungry, eat cucumber.
9. Avoid smoking.
10. Blood glucose, lipids, blood pressure and weight must be kept on target. Get regular diabetes checkups. Patients with diabetes should see a diabetes specialist (endocrinologist). Follow specific and scientifically sound advice (that applies just to you) on medication, exercise, diet and overall lifestyle. It is good to remember that prevention is better than cure for diabetes.
